Video of the October 14th Dunwoody City Council Meeting.

The Dunwoody City Council started at 6 for a quick meeting, followed by executive session on real estate followed by the main meeting that started at 7 and finally ended about 11:30. It was along night.

Council approved the Zoning Code Rewrite with some minor edits taking out the restrictions on animals and added a few clarifying points that were not substantive. We approved a minor GDOT item and everything else was discussion item preparing for the vote in two weeks. We discussed the Dunwoody Village Parkway, Georgetown Renaissance Project, Brook Run Trail, City Budget and a Spruill Center Ground Lease whereby a new 6 story hotel will be built just off Ashford Dunwoody near Wal-Mart.

The items added by Councilwoman Bonser regarding an ethics hearing and her reimbursement were removed from the agenda by her at the last minute.

Currently my political party, the Heteroclites, hasn't the funding to get my name on the ballot; therefore, once again I'm requesting that the good citizens of Dunwoody write in "Gary Ray Betz" (I'm thinking they won't credit any votes for "Copperhead Hunter" to me, so refrain from entering in that alias of mine on the ballot) for any or all positions this coming election.

I'm putting myself out there as an inadequate alternative, but an alternative nonetheless.

The only four planks in my platform are the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, suffrage for felons who have paid their debt to society, and the humane treatment of copperheads in Dunwoody.

Heneghan Philosophy on Public Service

As a long time resident of the Dunwoody North community who created this blog to fulfill two ideals. First is that when I have the ability to make a difference, I have a responsibility to do so and second, transparency in Government breeds self-corrective behavior.

After the creation of the City of Dunwoody which I worked to establish, I stepped down from being the President of the Dunwoody North Civic Association to run for a seat on the new City Council. Since my election in 2008, I have prided myself of posting every public document and agenda item to this blog for all to see.
